More picture of the boat-for-sale - here. Now including the sort-of-infamous shower handle on the foredeck.

I didn't put it there. I've never used it. I can't even trip over it, easily: afloat it feels to me precarious to stand on the foredeck of such a small boat. So, mostly, I don't. On the trailer you're not bouncing around so tripping over stuff on the deck is not a problem.

It's cruft.

I speculate: the intent is to keep an anchor on the foredeck. The gray cups are to keep the flukes from scaring the deck. It's handy so you can run up there, kick it overboard, anchor quickly.
